yn loved downtown la in the afternoon when the sun was about to start setting. the air was warm and the streets were full of people who all looked like they had somewhere they needed to be.
she took her usual route to the studio for her outfit fitting. low rise jeans sat on her hips, tiny top, and gold jewelry stack that made noise everytime she moved. her headphones blasted music as she sipped on an iced coffee, completely in her own world.
a little ahead, two boys were trying very hard to not be noticed.
keonho ran a hand through his hair for the millionth time, fixing his sunglasses as he glanced around again. seonghyeon, who was next to him walked casually, fitting the lowkey vibe they were going for way more.
“stop looking around like that,” seonghyeon groaned quietly. “you look crazy.”
“i’m not, bro,” keonho whispered, looking over his shoulder again.
“you’ve looked behind you three times in ten seconds,” seonghyeon said. “we’re in la, relax.”
keonho really tried to relax and enjoy himself, he even started counting his steps, which was definitely not something he did for fun.
he felt like he was in a romcom the way everything seemed to slow down. he saw a flash of gold jewelry and blown out hair.
“woah,” was all he could say.
seonghyeon followed his gaze and blinked. “woah,” he agreed.
yn walked straight toward them, looking crazily unbothered like she was on a higher level than everything around her.
she took a slow sip of her coffee and keonho forget how to act like a normal human being.
“don’t,” seonghyeon said immediately, noticing the look on his face.
“i’m not doing anything,” keonho replied way too fast.
“you’re gonna do something.”
“i can’t look at people anymore?”
“that’s not what i said,” seonghyeon shot back.
yn was close enough that keonho could see all the details. the lipgloss, the tan lines, the way her lashes fluttered. she looked unreal.
keonho was too busy obsessing when it happened. yn shifted to avoid someone coming in fast and walked directly into him.
she blinked and took an earbud out. “sorry.”
keonho stared at her intently and for far too long.
seonghyeon made a small snorting noise from somewhere behind him.
yn titled her head, looking at him curiously. he was definitely attractive and seemed to be important but she couldn’t really tell why.
keonho’s mind went blank. for someone who was supposed to keep walking and not drool over a pretty girl who had no idea who he was, he was doing a pretty terrible job.
but yn was looking at him and he swore he could see hearts forming around her.
“are you okay?” she said like she found his struggling funny.
he immediately nodded. “yeah! i just…um.”
he fucking forgot words, like the thing he’s been using for almost all seventeen years of his life.
seonghyeon came up next him, trying to save him from total embarrassment even though it was already looking pretty bad. “he’s fine. he just got hit by—“
keonho elbowed him in the ribs.
“by you,” seonghyeon finished anyway and smiled widely.
yn let out a small laugh that was enough to make keonho feel like he accomplished something.
“my bad,” she said, tucking some hair behind her ear. “i wasn’t paying attention.”
“i’m glad you weren’t,” keonho said quickly.
seonghyeon turned his head away so she wouldn’t see him trying not to laugh.
yn’s eyebrows furrowed. “you’re glad i ran into you?”
“yeah,” he rasped out, clearing his throat and repeating more lowly, “i mean…yeah.”
yn didn’t know what the fuck this was, but she kinda liked it. something about him felt different like he wasn’t trying too hard and it made her interested enough to not just scoff and roll her eyes.
she looked at him a little longer, like she was trying to decide something.
keonho felt like he was being judged and didn’t know what to do so he puffed his chest out a little and stood up straighter, like that would somehow help him or something.
“you’re not from here,” she said.
“i figured,” yn said, smiling slightly. “you have that lost puppy look.”
“i’m not lost,” he said defensively.
she just hummed in response and he laughed.
seonghyeon watched the entire thing like he was witnessing some world changing history. he leaned into keonho and whispered, “if you don’t ask her, i’m going to.”
yn looked down at her phone, checking the time. “shit, i really have to go, i’m late.”
she looked back up at him.
his heart was pounding so loud he was sure she could hear it.
she blinked, not expecting that at all.
keonho thought he fucked up, but then yn smiled, and he felt his knees go weak.
“what?” he blinked, he needed her to say it again to make sure he didn’t imagine it.
seonghyeon scoffed quietly like he couldn’t believe keonho had managed this.
she hesitated then reached out and held her phone to him. “here.”
keonho held his breath while typing in his number carefully, there was no way he would mess this up.
“keonho,” she read the name as he typed it.
he knew he’d be thinking about the way she said his name for the next week straight.
she took her phone back, putting her headphones back in. “i’ll text you.”
“please do,” he breathlessly said.
yn couldn’t help but laugh, she gave him one last look before brushing past him and disappearing into the crowd.
keonho didn’t move, he just stood there silently and stared straight ahead.
“you’re actually insane,” seonghyeon finally said.
he was still staring at the spot she stood.
“…she’s gonna text me,” he said, like he was trying to convince himself this was real.
seonghyeon shook his head. “sure she is."
